The+Acronymic+Sentence+Strategy

What we know already about acronyms: Strategy: This strategy helps with remembering information in any order. It is similar to the acronym strategy (as demonstrated above) where the first letter of each word is used to make the acronym. This strategy is a little bit different because the information that needs to be learned is used to form a sentence rather than a word. Rationale: If the group of information doesn’t contain a word with a vowel, a word or acronym will not be able to be formed. Therefore, an acronymic sentence could come in hand because sentences don’t have to have words that start with vowels. Example: Oceans- Steps: Model: The five senses (in any order)- Let’s Try: Five ancient Greek gods in any order: Zeus, Apollo, Aphrodite, Hermes, and Poseidon. The six largest planets in order from largest to smallest: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Earth, Venus. Helpful Website: []
